Version: 2.39.3-9ubuntu6.5 2026-03-12 23:09:57 UTC

  util-linux (2.39.3-9ubuntu6.5) noble-security; urgency=medium

  * d/p/ubuntu/su-pty-drop-caps.patch: harden 'su --pty' to temporarily lower
    capabilities while proxying between stdin/stdout and the pty master. This
    is to avoid su from being used to exploit kernel vulnerabilities.
